[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can a child hurt an adult's feelings?  I have three - ages 10 thru 2 - and it hasn't happened yet.  I correct them when they say something impolite or unkind but I certainly would never get my feelings hurt in the first place when my toddlers wanted their Dad to hold them instead if me!!!!

I am the adult.  There are definitely things that I am "above" when it comes to being a parent!!!

My two year old hurts my feelings daily.  He says "You're not my friend mommy", "I love daddy but not mommy", "No mommy go home", "I want daddy" pretty much every time I interact with him.  I tell him that it's not nice to say things like that and that while I will always love him, his friends may not always like him if he says things like that.  This may make me seem like an immature idiot who is unfit to be a mother, but a couple of times him saying things like that has made me cry at the end of already bad days at work.  Those times he has apologized.[/quote]
